A Upgrading the Application
Software
CAUTION:
Overview
Upgrading the switch software involves the following steps:
1. Backing Up the Current Software
2. Backing Up the Previous Configuration
3. Downloading Application Software
4. Setting the Startup Image
5. Synchronizing the Active and Standby Supervisor Modules
6. Resetting the Active Supervisor
7. Resetting the Standby Supervisor
8. Verifying the Upgrade
This appendix contains procedures for each of these steps.
Before downgrading the switch from v6.x application software to
v5.x, you must initialize NVRAM (nvram initialize command). If you
do not initialize NVRAM before downgrading the application
software, the switch may not respond after you reset it.
If the switch has multiple VLANs statically bound to hunt group ports, and
you upgrade from application software earlier than v5.3, you must delete
the hunt groups and set them up again. For information on how to perform
this task, see “
Upgrading a Switch with Multiple VLANs Statically Bound
to Hunt Group Ports ” later in this appendix.
